name of Toklas, resident OF Olym-

equal amount daily goes as freight,

as steady resource.
Mr.. James Longmire one of the rep
resentative farmers of Thurston coun-
tv, was in town, this week, and reports
glowing prospect for farmers. Mr..
Longmire informs the STANDARD that
uplands are now ready for seeding, and

abundant crops. So long as our coun-

known to the people of Olympia as a
gentleman of business integrity and
pleasing address. We feel no hesita-
ton in predicting that abundant sue
cess awaits the new establishment.
